From dbf34207c62bdec16b49721d119647c470a3443c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Wang Date: Wed, 2 May 2012 11:42:32 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] vhost_net: re-poll only on EAGAIN or ENOBUFS Currently, we restart tx polling unconditionally when sendmsg() fails. This would cause unnecessary wakeups of vhost wokers and waste cpu utlization when evil userspace(guest driver) is able to hit EFAULT or EINVAL. The polling is only needed when the socket send buffer were exceeded or not enough memory. So fix this by restarting polling only when sendmsg() returns EAGAIN/ENOBUFS.
